posted by Randall

Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ro Khanna is armed with a $1.2 million war chest and key players from Obama’s re-election campaign. But five-time incumbent Mike Honda (D-San Jose) is ready to take the challenge head on.

“It’s great to have the competition: it sharpens the focus,” Honda told India West. “Ultimately, it’s the voters who decide. We have a highly educated, highly informed district who will make decisions based on the information presented to them,” said Honda.

Recently five Indian American who ran unsuccessfully for congress threw their support behind Honda.

“From civil and religious rights, to minority small business issues and health disparities, to immigration reform to helping individuals from underrepresented communities get elected, Congressman Honda has been there on the frontlines fighting for our communities,” wrote the five.

For a closer look at the Honda campaign and the challenge he faces holding off Khanna in India West.
